Osteopathy and Health

An intergrative Approach to Relief from Pain and Dysfunction

Meet Julia Santos B.Ost

Osteopath and Naturopath

I am Julia Santos, an osteopath, naturopath and mind-body practitioner. I have been practising osteopathy for 15+ years, where I have been treating patients of all ages from infants to the elderly first in the UK, in Germany, then Hong Kong and since the end of 2019 in Portugal.

As an osteopath I give special attention to the musculoskeletal system but I am really passionate about treating the whole person and will, in my diagnosis and treatment approach, always consider all aspects of my client's life.

I especially invite those who feel that they have tried everything and been everywhere to not give up hope, the end of the line does not have to be surgery, you have options! Our bodies are truly remarkable and do have the innate ability to heal themselves if we give them the chance.

As well as offering osteopathy, cranial osteopathy, postural advice and advice on lifestyle, I guide my patients who are looking to stop the chronic pain cycle in their lives, to uncover the hidden roots of their suffering .

I am fluent in English and German and am currently at intermediate level in Portuguese.

Chronic Pain Solution

We are truly whole in our expression of health and especially in those core years of life (studies, work, relationships, family) when our responsibilities towards ourselves and others increases, most people experience more ailments and pain of varying degrees.

After evaluating their situation I can offer chronic pain sufferers mind-body treatment alternatives that will empower them to radically overcome their pain cycles.

Cranial Osteopathy

Cranial Osteopathy is a very calming and relaxing treatment modality that through minimal hand contact produces a balancing effect on the autonomic nervous system and engages the innate self-healing properties of the body.

Osteopathy for Pregnancy and Postpartum

Especially during pregnancy and breast-feeding women are advised to avoid medication to protect the infant. Osteopathy is a safe and effective treatment for pelvic, back and neck pain, migraines, carpal tunnel syndrome and other pregnancy related complaints.
